B&W tree and fence

I love the tree image! Brilliant angle, great detail, a sense of awe looking up .... The processing treatment seems to enhance the qualities also.... Very effective plus you used the time of day to full advantage capturing the strong contrast.
The fence doesn't have much impact for me .... It's a good technical idea that maybe needed a different realisation, for example I can imagine it would work well if the single in-focus element was actually further along into the picture, with OOF areas all around it, sort of drawing the eyes in. As it stands I just see the one focal point but then there's noting else to look at ....

I agree with Nigel. That knob, for example, must be oozing texture judging from the various paint jobs it has received. It shouts for high contrast against the background supporting cast. The *ist image is in another category completely !!

Thank you all.
To be honest that tree photo was buried on my disk for last few years still in colour, until last week I've stumbled on it while looking through all my photos. I gave it some B&W treatment and it looks way better than original. One of the forgotten gems I'm sure everyone got somewhere.
I wonder if that fence would be better if I've focused on one of the further knobs? Reverse the out of focus area?

Tree-mendous shot
The angle is good whilst the composition is superb, I think that's what really makes it such a successful image! The processing tops it off nicely - great to see big on Flickr

Now I'm going to go against the grain! I do like the opening image but the bottom of the image for me is too much. I prefer the top half only as a square crop.
The fence image oozes a lovely bokeh that dissolves away quickly from the subject in focus. I can see that being used to good effect with other subjects
